To be inovative, they could make it a full kit, or "some assembly
required" like the K3. I think a full kit would be a little daunting for most
of us, so the 2nd option would be better. It/they have a lot of wiz-bang
automatic control and proably a lot of surface mount circuitry.
It has a built in tuner and I thought that was pretty inovative.
There aren't too many amps on the market with built in tuners. AND, it would be
Elecraft quality and would match the other Elecraft equipment.

Frankly, It seems to me that good QRO amps are a glut on the market. (see THP,
etc.)
To be competitive in that market, any Elecraft offering would have to be highly
innovative and I just don't see much more that can be done.

YES! That is exactly the question I would like to ask. I very much
looked forward to the release a couple of years ago, and now you can't even
get a comment from Elecraft about the situation.
IMO, QRO is much more important than all these trivial little toys
they are building now. I have a much more pressing need for a KPA-XXXX than
I do a panadapter (with limited features) and a wattmeter. I have a very
nice panadapter that has rig control from the computer, and it didn't cost
700 bucks, and I can control it with the MOUSE.
Wayne/Eric, how about some comments on this subject. At least tell
us what the future holds for the KPAs. I'm holding off buying a new amp till
the KPAs are released.

What happened to the Elecraft Amps? Did they get beyond 'proto: gee I want
one' stage?
